Observations (not in “Grandpa was a Deity”, but will be in related book

Islam begins its Calendar in a year that was a DOUBLE Birthday of the World relative to: The Birth of Methuselah (symbolically links it to prevailing belief in Revelation of a Thousand Year Reign); The Birth of Joseph (The archetype Prophet of Egypt); the Birth of Miriam (emphasizing the Prophet’s concern for women, and the Prophetess of Israel).

Islam (622CE) is also keyed – both through the Hebrew and directly -- to the Babylonian Calendar.

Islam is keyed to the Exodus and the year in which Moses was Eighty (80).

Islam keyed – using the same Birthday of the World related determination – to the Greek Calendar, and, most curiously, to the beginning of the Mayan Fifth Epoch.

It is also, mathematically, possible to make a logical  connection between the year the Islamic Calendar begins and both Noah & Sarah.

There is also a Hindu Calendar connection to the Islamic Calendar which is derived from the information contained in “Grandpa was a Deity.”  This connection is necessitated because of the association to figures prominent in the Hebrew Genesis – who, themselves, are directly linked to the Math underlying the Hebrew Calendar.

MY THESIS:  ALL the prominent calendars of the ancient and modern world had a common origin.  This infers either those calendars were derived from a common design – a single calendar – or relied upon the same astronomical reference point.  Since these calendars emerged north of the Equator, that reference must be visible only in the northern hemisphere.

As I cite in “Grandpa was a Deity”, the Hg-R1a1 utilized “the Dog star” SIRIUS and Orion’s Belt for all of their astrological work.  Thus, it follows that there should be evidence that any culture which cannot be directly associated with Hg-R1a1 culture must have derived the connection independently – and then keyed their calendar to a date which specifically matched a Biblical Patriarch.

Raising the point:  What is so important?  What is so significant?  What is the astronomer’s link to those dates?  And why haven’t modern astronomers been able to identify it?

“Grandpa was a Deity” - at Publisher

Well, my long awaited book is finally done – and at the Publisher.

At this point, “Grandpa was a Deity” has the potential for challenging the dominant Abrahamic spin-off religions.

While not the core thesis, the book does mention St. Paul – the originator of the “Gospel of Faith” (& Grace, as expanded upon by St. Augustin) – as a possible self-identified member of our Hg-R1a1 tribe.  It do posit that the Leopard had never changed his spots; he was, and remained, devoutly opposed to any gentile conversion to the Judaism, as espoused by St. Peter.  However, he was in favor of those who followed the Law naturally, or could commit fully to the Laws.

His doctrine was aimed at those who were aligned with, and would retain adherence to, the pagan faiths.  For the pagans, all he needed to do was change the name Hercules to Jesus and allow them to continue their practices and beliefs.  Thus the subsequent additions to the New Testament – the post Paulian additions – focus on Herculean mythology of a divine resurrection.  Clearly inconsistent with the beliefs of someone who identifies himself as a Hebrew among Hebrews, a Benjaminite, and a Pharisee – a strict adherent to the Laws.  However the Pharisee are also believed to hold a belief in propitiatory prayer for the dead, judgment day, intercession of saints, and merits of the martyrs – all of which are now a part of modern Christianity.

There is this element implicit in the book: The Hg-R1a1 believed in a rational universe and defined int in terms of Astronomy – something they incorporated into the Book of Genesis.  It is also something which has never been reported on – though the fact that the knowledge was in the Torah, and intrinsically incorporated therein, has become a part of many mystical doctrines ... the Kabbalists and Freemasons come immediately to mind.

Rational mind: An All Knowing, All Perfect, Omnipotent Deity who creates a world that is perfectly imperfect – due to the introduction of elements of Chaos – and which incorporates Freewill, is NOT an interventionist deity.  Such a being does not require agents to do what has been planned and the outcome of which is already know.  The Hg-R1a1 doctrine seems to be that – there are basic laws to which, when followed, will avoid the individual falling into Realm of Chaos, and therefore allow them to be part of the predetermine design outcome.  By creating a doctrine which allowed the individual to avoid the Law, under the guise of gaining salvation, Paul created a situation where they would willingly run into the  Realm of Chaos and self-destruct.  Thus Paul laid the groundwork for the Inquisitions and the Great Plagues which dominated Europe while sparing other regions where the underlying disease also existed.

Paul could not defeat Peter’s efforts to convert the gentiles.  But by joining their numbers and playing upon their inherent belief system – based on the Herculean mythology – he could redirect them into a course of behavior that they would find easier to adhere to.  That behavior would also keep them from blending into the Hebrew culture and contaminating the genetic line which scripture was so strict in developing.

Significantly, the bloodline was designed to promote intelligence among the Levites – which is part of the thesis of “Grandpa was a Deity”, and an integral element in the tracing of the genealogy which inspired the book.

– For those who are interested in tracing their own Genealogy, “Grandpa was a Deity” will provide a guide to things which may well have more meaning than one might suspect. 

– For the adoptee, especially one who might have some documents which do not seem to agree with discovered facts, “Grandpa was a Deity” is a must read.

– For those who are Hg-R1a1, you have an opportunity to learn the true significance of your ancestry and the contribution it made to Modern Society and the “Best-of-the-Best” of the world cultures – a contribution which far exceeds the simple spread of the Indo-European language.

– For those interested in Biblical Mysticism, Religion, and what is REALLY the story behind, or story told by, The Book of Genesis, “Grandpa was a Deity” is, most assuredly, a must read.

BULLSHIT REARS HEAD AGAIN

“Half of European men share King Tut's DNA” By Alice Baghdjian

Mon Aug 1, 2011 5:52pm GMT

Apparently, by looking at a Discovery program on King Tut, some con-artist decided he could recover the results the actual researchers could not.  The results he claimed showed Tut to be Western European … in fact, it appears that Tut shared DNA with 70% of ENGLISHMEN

… ah the days of Empire when everything revolved around the Brits… even the sun unable to set upon them kept them eternally illuminated.

FACT:  If the results were as detailed as reported by the con-artist, then they had to be obvious to those original researchers … who had direct and unfiltered access to the computers and data.  Unfortunately, the researchers claimed only two male markers could be recovered … female markers permeate every cell and so are easier to recover.

If the information is real, than the researchers falsified the results in their paper – either willingly of their own volition, or because of some coercive pressure from the Egyptian government … in either case, the professional status and qualifications of the researcher is now in question.  Their paper is invalid, as will be any other research they, or their associates, might engage in.

Obviously, if they falsified the results -- by failure to report what was clearly obvious – they probably falsified other results as well.

The alternative is that the con-artists, representing themselves to be Zurich-based DNA genealogy centre, iGENEA Scientists, have perpetrated a clear fraud … or are in the process of doing so.

Clearly the matter needs to be investigated by a credible INTERNATIONAL Scientific authority agency and the dishonest parties prosecuted, or, at the very least, barred from any further involvement in the field.

The other Party of the Spread

July 25, 2011 New York Times: “Men in Grief Seek Others Who Mourn as They Do” By PERRY GARFINKEL

This got me thinking … especially since, having been through it twice, I can relate to the substance of the article.

One personal thought, or considered factor, is that it is wiser to marry  young – there is a longer period with the partner.  This would be highly important for a woman.  A male marries older, and so has a longer period in which he is self-sufficient … so has that to fall back on.   However, the cultural roles affect how we react to children … or how we cope.  For the women, the role is sans husband; for the man, it’s taking on the wife’s responsibilities.  Two very different environments.

Historically, where the man had multiple wives, or traveled extensively, the burden of a wife’s death was totally different than it is in modern society.

[Don’t have anywhere to go from that observation … it is not a fully formed subject area.  Though I have no doubt that, over time, it will germinate into a one.]

 

In passing, interesting statistic: “The number of men age 65 and older increased by 21 percent from 2000 to 2010, nearly double the 11.2 percent growth rate for women in that age group, according to census figures.”   Given that, modern society, environmental risks and medical care should be equal:  I suspect this reflects a male bias in post-war births.  (Men control gender, and research shows that, under stress, they generate more males.)

Have you ever …

Every night, before I sleep, I lay in bed and read a little history.  Than, utilizing the dream cycle, my mind processes the new data and places it in the  context of that already acquired.  Sometimes the sleep is sound; sometimes it is fitful and I approach, or actually do, awake.

Last night I read a chapter from “The House of Wisdom”, and can safely say, my sleep pattern can be grouped with the latter.  Granted, I doubt it was the subject matter – rather, it was probably the combination of foods I had ingested which made me feel like I had been drinking.  Still, I awoke to see a pattern …

In following the R1a1 migration, we have followed a migration from east to west.  In the East, in India, among some Hindu, the Cow is held Sacred.  In the Middle East, from the dawn of agriculture to the notorious Biblical incident -- involving Aaron, Moses and that Golden Calf – the Cow, Calf or Bull were deemed to be Sacred.  In Greece, man emerges from the Bull and we have the Minotaur – which relates to the animal headed divine figures of Egypt.  Travel to the furthest geographic reaches of the period, to Iberia, and we find the classic Bull Fight – Man against Bull, Mortal against the Divine, the lower creature who emerged from the Sacred Bull, at war with the “Godhead.”

Spain, the furthest point in the spread of Islam during the Golden Age; the place where knowledge stops at the precise time it is expanding in the eastern regions.  It is the age of Translation and amplification in the Islamic east, and the age of emerging anti-Semitism in the Spanish and emerging Frankish west.

The is a flow and symmetry to the course of history, knowledge and cultural development.  Perversely, it is the uncultured nomadic Arab, enamored with the wisdom and scholarship of Persia and India, who balances, counteracts, the ignorance emerging in the west.  But that age of Arab enlightenment is short lived, and they fall back into their pattern of murder and mayhem.

In the tenth century, the Golden age crumbles, as a new age of Semitic scholarship arises in the Germanic city of Worms and spreads, is driven or propelled, eastward into what would be created as the Russian Pale – the ancient migration and trade zone of our R1a1 ancestors.

Patterns of knowledge and ignorance.

The uncultured and ignorant Arab persists in that role – those who claim Arab status, but do not fit that role, are really from other groups.  In the east, the Persian have been curators of knowledge for as long as there are records of such.  On the Mediterranean coast, those who claim to be “Palestinian Arab” are, based on yDNA, not “Arab” at all.  Those with ancient ties to the land of “Palestine” are, most likely, descendants of the Judean Tribes of Issachar and Zebulon – the symbiotic tribes of merchants and scholars, the developers and archivists of wisdom who, we are told, were established, over three thousand years ago, by a Biblical Moses.  If they honored themselves, rather than bowed to falsify of the murderous illiterates, these Palestinians would claim their rightful place as merchants and scholars – as many of their people have after venturing to those nations free of Arab domination and a culture based solely upon suicide generated mayhem.

Have you ever awoken to see a pattern?  Have you ever taken the time to think, to place things in context, rather than just accept the ignorance of “traditional” thought – the transient beliefs invoked by those seeking to dominant through the destruction of Humanity, and suppression of Wisdom … those whose guiding light is to bring the most harm to the most people … before it is realized that they offer nothing but death!?

Abram (nee Lipschitz) Lipton c.1873-c.1910

One of the most annoying aspects of genealogy is the lack of data.  We lack records, basic information; even when we have them, we still discover that they are incomplete.  Even when there is a clear mandate for detail, or accuracy -- as with the United States Census -- tens of thousands of people are unaccounted for.  Often they are missing from a critical point in their history, and our inquiry.  Sometimes the information is there, but in a form that requires us to make assumptions and determinations -- with hardly any evidence to support them.

Just such a situation exists in the quest for the facts behind Lawrence Lipton.  Given his Jewish background and stated place of origin -- in Eastern Europe -- we immediately know that his family name was NOT Lipton ... no more than it is the name attached to my lineage.  Given that Jews in that period tended to Americanize their names, and that Lipton was most often the choice of those with the surname Lipshitz, it was no great surprise that this proved to be the case with Lawrence Lipton.  What was a surprise was the fact that his given name went through TWO transformations -- a birth name of Israel, then the unusual immigrant name of Isadore, and finally the literary name of Lawrence.

In a biographical sense, the information on Lawrence tell us all we need to know about and artist & author whose time has -- with the exception of anything that might be gleaned from "The Holy Barbarians" -- passed.  Published in 1959, "The Holy Barbarians" is credited for "making" Venice, California -- making it a place for those who would create the 60's anti-war generation to congregate.  "Barbarians" also contribute to the counterpoint basis for television sitcom "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" (1959-1963) and provided the descriptive beatnik role model for the character of "Maynard G. (Walter) Krebs".  Lawrence Lipton documented his viewpoint on his experience with the dawn of a transitional period in American history.  But what do we know of him, or his family?  What do we know of the history which shaped the man and bring us to the writer/educator, Pace University Professor emeritus, James Lipton?

Certainly not as much as you will learn in this blog.

Lawrence's father, Abram (nee Lipshitz) Lipton, was born in, Russian controlled, Eastern Europe in the late nineteenth century.  His surname, "Lipschitz", is one of the few exclusively Jewish surname known to exist; it pre-dates the vast majority of European surnames.  We can document it's usage in Slutz (Russian) in the mid-sixteenth century, and connect it to the Wahl (elected) who was the "Jewish King of Poland for a day" (or, vaguely short period in which he was appointed to serve as transitional King until a Christian Polish monarch could be chosen). 
The Livshitz line is noted for its intellectual scholars and Talmudic scholarship.  Arguably, the surname dates to the Roman era border regions in Western Europe -- certainly, the line is connected by marriage to the ancient Rabbinic line of The Rashi -- a Talmudic Scholar of the tenth century Frankish city of Worms (now in Germany).     

Short of locating his naturalization papers, we currently have no information as to Abram's actual date & place of birth, or his parents names -- hence there is a broken ancestral link to the Livshitz scholars, King Wahl and The Rashi -- who is claimed to have been a descendant of the Biblical King David.  However, the 1920 census has Rosa et al naturalized in 1904, based upon an arrival in 1898 -- while possible, it would raise questions as to the parentage of brother Harry (nee Pon Lipshitz) who was born on 10 Jun 1900, and Lawrence had been born in October 1898.  The 1898 date would therefore unlikely, and infer Abram arrived in the States after September 1899 {while we normally speak of nine month gestations, since Greek times, it has been known that ten month, or 305 day, gestations are not unusual}.  Of course, Harry could have been a preemie -- but, in that period, survival with a gestation of only six, or, at most seven,   months would seem to be rare.

Thus, given the Census data related to Naturalization, we can infer that Abram left his pregnant wife to immigrate to America -- and that this occurred some time at the end of 1898, or, possibly, the begging of 1900.  We also know {from the Lawrence biographies} that Abram died sometime before 1912.  The 1910 Census shows Rosa as the sole parent, but also has her "married" -- as opposed to widowed -- for 15 years; that indicates Abram died between 1910 & 1912. The question is: What did he die of, what was the cause of death?  A question to which currently have no answer -- nor do we actually need one.  The real issue is: When did Abram arrive?  And that is answered by a search for Lipshitz in the New York Passenger Lists for 1820-1957 -- where we discover that, on the 13th of August 1900, a 23 year old married merchant, named Abram Lipshitz, arrived on the "Bulgaria", which departed Hamburg on the 29th of July.  The ship's record also tells us that his passage was paid by an aunt -- Chane Meissl.  Assuming this is our Abram, he arrived too late to be recorded in the 1900 Federal Census.
As shown here, there were several possibilities in the search records.  One appears to be too young, the other, age 40, is married and is therefore a possibility .  Another is 28, single and lists a brother residing on Manhattan's West 52nd Street.  Finally, there is a married merchant who arrived on the 7th of April, lists a brother-in-law residing on Henry Street, and appears in the 1900 Census as a boarder (with the Epstein family) at 13 Hester Street. {One remaining possibility, Abrahan Lifschütz, who lists his father, arrived 15 Nov 1898, claims to be a widower from Slusk -- three discrepancies which make it impossible for him to be Harry's father .}  Her we have the data on the August arrival and alternate possibilities:

As we can see from the following, the April arrival was born in November 1873, making him roughly four years older than the age which appears in records related to Lawrence's mother, Rosa (nee Lipshitz) Lipton.

We therefore have two choices for Abram Lipshitz -- one born in November 1873 and in the Census records; the other Abram who arrived in August -- therefore denying us further collaborative documentation.  As we can see with the detailed insert, each of the two possibilities  offers residential alternatives to the family actually being from LODZ.  It is possible that Rosa and the children were residing in Lodz, with her family, prior to departing to join Abram in America -- which logically fits a four year separation.

Apart from any information that might appear in the Naturalization Papers, there is very little more we can learn about Abram (nee Lipshitz) Lipton from the available paper trail.  Until is further data, we shall assume he was born in November 1873 and died some time in 1911-- though a death in, but prior to April, 1910 could not be ruled out; therefore, Rosa could have counted her as married for Census purposes.

Tracing Lawrence Lipton (1898-1975)

One of the nice things about Ancestry.com – their records are cleaner and more accurate than those of EllisIsland.org.  Case in point, the arrival record for Lawrence Lipton (nee Israel Lipschitz) his mom and two siblings:

Ancestry:

One must view the actual record to see the last residence for the family was LODZ, Poland (Russia).

Now for the Ellis Island website record:

Note the 6 MONTHS have become 6 YEARS old and the 4 – which is clear on the original record at both sites – has been lost.  Note also the last residence – an examination of the original record shows that “Rugloska” was the residence of the passenger immediately preceding the Lipshitz family.

Similar errors and omissions have plagued every search I’ve done at EllisIsland.org … a reality which, while not negating the usefulness of the Ellis Island database, does make access to Ancestry.com of far more valuable to serious passenger list research.

That said:  We now have our documentation as to the age and arrival date for the boy who would become, author of “The Holy Barbarians”.  We also have clear confirmation that, in terms of surname, he can be associated with  is of the Famed Lipshitz family of Talmudic Scholars – something which explains why, as a graphic artist, he chose to illustrate a Haggadah (a Passover prayer book) … for which he also won an award.
